About
The One by Dolce&Gabbana is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. The One was launched in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Christine Nagel. Top notes are Peach, Litchi, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot; middle notes are Lily, Plum, Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Vanilla, Amber, Musk and Vetiver. As it was envisioned by designers, The One is a fragrance for an exceptional woman who instantly draws attention, not only with her looks, but also with her manners, pose and inner world. This fragrance, like all of the fragrances of D&G house, is a \'fragrance with character\', special and alluring. Its oriental floral-fruity composition is very warm and sensual with powdery vanilla trace. The color of the fragrance perfectly matches its tone.The composition opens with softly fresh mandarin, bergamot, litchi and peach. The heart is thin and balmy, with the notes of jasmine, lily of the valley and white lily which graciously intertwine with the fruity touch of plum. The woodsy-powdery base is created of vetiver root, amber, musk and vanilla. The One was created in 2006.

About
Valaya by Parfums de Marly is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Valaya was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Quentin Bisch. Top notes are Aldehydes, White Peach, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Orange Blossom, Lily-of-the-Valley, Petalia, Nympheal™, Vetiver and Mahonia; base notes are Musk, Ambroxan, Akigalawood and Vanilla. A luminous aura and at the same time an intangible softness. Like the scent of fresh cotton, Valaya unfolds a sensual fragrance nuance dedicated to the power of femininity.Beyond the artificial and beyond time, it awakens an intimate feeling, a universal emotion, a deep breath of mindfulness. Its formula evokes the delicate and pure skin of a woman in all its beauty.“One of the biggest challenges was to create a fragrance that is fresh and delicate, but at the same time very powerful and expressive. Valaya is reminiscent of the feel of cotton against the skin. A cocoon-like perfume that is sensual and elegant at the same time. A white perfume full of contrasts that is delicate yet incredibly alluring.” – Julien Sprecher (brand creator)
